Don’t Be Left Out In The Cold This Holiday Season!

If You Want Your Carpets To Be Sparkling, Clean And Fresh For Your Holiday Guests Call Me Now!

            Hello friend!  Many people are focusing on what will be a busy time of year…and many are planning parties to celebrate with family and friends.  Which means just about everyone wants their carpets cleaned before their guests arrive.  But unfortunately…

Time And Again People Wait Until It’s Too Late.

…I get that frantic phone call from a client desperate for me to clean before her guests arrive.  And year after year I just can’t fit everyone into the schedule in those final weeks before the holidays.  So I’m giving you the heads up…

Don’t Miss Your Chance…

Please call me early in the season to avoid missing out on a pre-holiday cleaning appointment.  This is just a friendly reminder that my schedule fills quickly this time of year.

Your carpets can be sparkling clean, healthy and beautiful for your guests – if you call me in time to secure your spot in my schedule.

Remember…November and December Appointments Fill Up Fast!

            Unfortunately I just can’t fit everyone in.  (As much as I would love to.)  So don’t delay, call me today and you can check carpet cleaning off your holiday “to-do list”.

I’ll even give you a nice discount if you call me this month – that way if you are a procrastinator (like me) maybe I can get you to call now – instead of later.  And, don’t forget your carpets need a professional cleaning every 6-12 months to clean your indoor air and preserve the life of your carpets; it’s the only way to keep them from getting “worn out” before their time.  So don’t wait another minute, call me at Ideal Carpet Cleaning 613 228-8343 today!  Or send me a quick e-mail at bruce@idealcarpetcleaning.ca

Fall Carpet Cleaning Special

 

Fall For This Great Offer And You’ll Be

Thanking Me When The Holidays Arrive!

Hello friend!  I think it is officially FALL around here.  For a carpet cleaner, like me, that is the season that falls between busy and busier.  Sometimes there is a bit of a lull in the schedule between the frenzy of summer cleanings and the craziness of holiday cleanings.  So, to keep busy this month, and to help you get ready for guests early, I’m making you an offer you can’t refuse. 

Why Not Clean Your Carpets Before Your Life Gets REALLY Busy With Holiday “To Do” Lists And Guests?

October is really a great month to get a jump-start on your to-do lists.  And remember, carpets don’t have to look dirty to need a cleaning.  Just everyday life with foot traffic, pets, kids, indoor pollutants, pollen, house dust, food spills, and dust mites are enough to need to clean every 6-12 months.  After all, once the carpet looks dirty there could be permanent wear and tear.

With that said, the only other reasons people usually postpone cleaning this time of year are:  #1:  They want to wait and clean right before their guests arrive… OR…. #2:  They want to wait and clean right after the holidays – to clean up the messes people make during the holidays.

But here are some even better reasons to clean NOW instead of later:  Reason #1 to clean in October:  Call now and have your pick of the schedule!  If you wait until right before guests arrive you may not get an appointment because everyone else had that same idea.  And, Reason #2 to clean in October:  Call now and I’ll clean any spots and spills right before the guests arrive and even after the holidays for free! 

Need Another Reason To Cross This Off

Your “To Do List” Early This Year?

Reason #3 to clean in October:  HUGE cash discount!  If you call me at 613 228-8343 and clean in the month of October I’ll give you $25.00 cash off your cleaning.  And you get the bonus of spots & spills cleaned for FREE through January 2015!  Now that is an offer to fall for!

Don’t Entrust Your Precious Oriental Rugs to Just Any Carpet Cleaner

We know that you have a serious investment in your fine rugs.  With the increasing popularity of hard floors in homes, we see more designer and wool rugs.

These rugs, whether they are ‘investment’ quality rugs or just ‘fun rugs’…

They all get soiled, sooner or later

IDEAL CARPET AND RUG CLEANING

IS HERE TO HELP!

Generally Oriental Rugs will increase in value with age and proper care.  The best way to ensure a rug’s long life is to keep it clean.  Unlike other fibers, wool is much more resilient and cleans better.

Ideal’s rug cleaning facility offers you our complete service

for your precious area rugs

Call before May 31 and get free Pick-up and Delivery

Thorough cleaning and air drying of your wool or synthetic rugs (Including the fringes)

Call 613 228-8343 today for a Free Quote

	How is it done? We pick up your Oriental rug, clean it in our shop and deliver it back to your home. Step 1: Dusting The first step of our system is to “dust” the rug.  Thorough vacuuming—first the back and then the face of the rug removes dust, sand and loose soil trapped deep inside.  This is important because gritty sand grinds the expensive wool yarns down into those worthless fibers that fill up your vacuum bag. Step 2: Wash and Rinse In many parts of the world where fine rugs are made they are cleaned by placing them in a swiftly flowing river where they are submerged for hours on end--and then the carpet is slung over a tree branch to dry.  We don’t do it that way!  Instead, we pre-spray your rug with a mild cleaning agent made for wool cleaning and massage it deep into the fibers.  Attention is given to the dingy white fringes and spots on the rug.  Then we thoroughly rinse it out with a neutralizing rinse, which leaves your carpet feeling beautifully soft.  Excess moisture is extracted away to prepare for drying.  Stain Protection or Sanitizer is applied at this stage.  The rug is then groomed and the fringes combed. Step 3: Drying Drying occurs quickly using airflow and gravity.  Some rugs may be hung to dry.  Others, because of their make-up, would be allowed to dry flat on our platform. Step 4: Final Inspection After thoroughly drying, the rug is closely inspected to make sure we have the desired results.  Having your rug in our shop allows us to repeat any steps necessary to meet your expectations.

What You Can Do When it comes to Spot Cleaning  Certain spills such as coffee, cola, juices, pet accidents, medicines, milk, foods with certain dyes must be spotted immediately for best results. 1.       Do not rub the spot.  Don’t panic. 2.       Gently remove any solid materials from the area with a spoon. 3.       Blot the area with a clean white terrycloth towel. 4.       Use a neutral pH spotting solution (available from Ideal Carpet & Rug Cleaning) to loosen the rest of the spot.  Use only a minimum of this solution, just enough to moisten the spot.  Avoid soaking unaffected areas of the rug.  Gently massage the soiled yarns with your fingertips. 5.       Blot again to pick up the solution, turning the towel frequently to a clean portion. 6.       Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the rug appears to be clean. 7.       Neutralize the spot with a vinegar solution.  Mix 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water.  Again, use only a minimum of this solution.  Blot repeatedly.  Remember not to rub. 8.       Before the rug dries be sure to comb the pile to blend with the rest of the rug.  When the rug is dry, the nap should be lying in its natural direction. 9.       If the spill has dried before you notice it, get the advice of an experienced rug cleaner.  We are at 613 228-8343.

Professional Cleaning is recommended every two to five years, depending on the traffic the rug receives.  Cleaning your Oriental Rugs properly enhances their look and value.  Not having one cleaned is like not going to the dentist.  Dirt has a sandpaper effect on the fibers. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum!  This is the best thing you, as an owner, can do for your rug.  First determine the direction of the nap by running your hand over the surface.  Never catch the fringes in the vacuum or the rug can be ruined.  Set your beater bar so that the brush just touches the top of the pile and moves easily across the rug.  Periodically vacuum the back of the rug. Ensure even wear.  Your rug should be rotated once a year, before you notice the high traffic areas starting to look dirty.  As well, direct sunlight has an effect on the dyes over time.  Choose a proper underpad—a good quality one that will stabilize and protect your rug’s shape, enhancing the value and make your rug safer to walk on. Potted Plants—never put a houseplant on the rug.  No matter how careful you are, moisture can penetrate onto the rug, creating permanent stains or mildew damage. Fringes—If the fringe becomes uneven, the edges can be trimmed in some cases.

  

The Three Rs of Carpet Cleaning

 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

How Can You Apply This To Carpet Cleaning?

Hello friend!  In today’s environmental and economic climate, even with the economy looking up these days, it can make a person stop and think about things like…

“Are We A ‘Throw Away’ Society?”

                A lot of people are realizing that the ways of yesteryear make a lot of sense.  In fact, a growing trend has been to look to our grandparents and great grandparents for inspiration.  More and more people are buying used cars, growing their own organic food, composting, eating in, making their own cleaning supplies, and opting for bicycles and public transportation.  It’s hip to live mindfully!

                Good old-fashioned value will never go out of style, and that is something you can always count on from Ideal Carpet Cleaning.  With all this talk about returning to the conservative habits of days gone by, how about applying some of these principals to carpet cleaning? 

The Three Rs of Carpet Cleaning…

                We are all familiar with the “Three Rs”: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.  These rules factor well into living mindfully.  Here is my carpet cleaning version of the 3 Rs:

Reduce:  We can reduce indoor air pollution and the wear and tear on our carpets by removing our shoes in the home, vacuuming often, and getting the carpets cleaned every 6-12 months.  These preventative measures work to extend the life of carpet and reduce the frequency of replacing carpet.

Reuse:  Recently there has been a real trend with many of my clients cleaning more frequently. Whereas 10 years ago people were replacing their carpets more often, today they are reusing what they have by maintaining a good cleaning schedule.

Recycle:  When your carpet finally does wear out – how about recycling it?  Find out all about how you can at www.westboroflooring.com.   Westboro Flooring & Decor is the only carpet store in Ottawa to
offer carpet recycling services to turn old carpet and under pad into new carpet or plastic goods.

                At Ideal Carpet Cleaning you will find value and quality cleaning that will extend the life of your carpet and restore its beauty so you don’t have to think about replacing/recycling your carpet for a long, long time.
